Remember my goat that we named Cybertruck because of his various safety issues? He's been doing great, until earlier when he went offroading (in the barn) and high-centered himself and had to be rescued, again living up to his name. All hail Cybertruck!

@aquasscum It's so screwed up. Yesterday someone asked if I was sick, or being cautious. I said cautious. He wasn't masked, of course. Thinks he's Mister Invincible. No social distance, either. I had to move away. They believe the lies, get sick, and die.

I tell them I’m sick, and watch them panic 😈

Or “partner’s been in bed with a really nasty flu for more than a week and I feel a bit off, but we need supplies — you know how it is!”

Qp @aquasscum le mythe du heros et le refus de la faiblesse nous ont été inculqués terriblement.
Pourtant, sans faiblesse, pas de force et d'heroisme.

@aquasscum Maybe talking unmasked to an immunodeficient masked person makes people feel guilty and their questioning the diagnosis is a way of trying to dismiss their own guilt? Easier praising someone for their sense of responsibility than blaming ourselves for our lack of. (Sad too, obviously)

@la_souris @aquasscum I'm sure that's part of it. When you bluntly tell someone that COVID is still there and that the thing that's actually changed since 2022 is that society decided to ignore it, you can see them trying to handle the cognitive dissonance
Show threadla sourisJun 10
@kincat @aquasscum Cognitive dissonance, yes. During the first year(s ?) Covid nearly drove me mad coz' one breach in the cautiousness made the whole effort seem pointless.

@kincat @aquasscum I finally gave up daily masking when people at large stopped it, only going back to it when I have anything resembling a fever/cold/flu/Covid. And I'm still appalled that people encourage me to get rid of it like I'm hypochondriac when I'm actually doing it to protect them (I'm a dance teacher, so staying with lots of people breathing deep in poorly ventilated rooms)(tooted from my couch, recovering from that f***** disease).

@la_souris @kincat @aquasscum

some masking is better than no masking!

I hope they can get you an air purifier, that immediately made me think of my school workout rooms.

I wanted to let you know, about half of COVID infections come from people who have no symptoms (https://www.thegauntlet.news/p/common-misconceptions-about-covid) and it's possible to develop long covid from an asymptomatic covid infection.

Feel better soon!

Common Misconceptions about COVID Hold Strong as New Variant Spreads

Media has the public talking about the "razor blade" COVID variant, but years of inaccurate public health messaging have taken their toll

@aquasscum Fun is going "Oh, you hadn't heard of that new airborne hemorrhagic fever outbreak in <obscure-country>?". And when they scoff at you being worried about not catching it, you go "Oh no, I mask to avoid passing it on to you.".

I wish that was universally true. All I get is still hostility because all germs aren't real now.

Also, they aren't masking for their OWN elderly, chronically ill parents, either, and I think that makes them even more hostile because deep down they feel they should, maybe, but they also reallyreally just don't wanna. Stomp.

I do not discuss my mask anymore. I ignore their "questions" and my only reaction to their accusations is a short "no".

Show threadFlamekebabJun 11
@aquasscum I've never actually bothered to have a conversation with random people that might want to interrogate me about my mask. Their opinion is of no interest to me. Other than when my sister brought COVID home from London I haven't had a respiratory infection of any kind in five years. I'm trying to keep it that way!

@aquasscum What's sad is that narcissistic parents of disabled kids just take advantage of this, and make *everything* all about themselves. It's really sick and twisted how our society just feeds right into it.

BTW, I have to mask for the same reason. I'm fortunate: so far, no one's tried to make me answer to them for it. Yet.

I'm really sorry for what people have put you through. It's just wrong.
